Off the waitlist. Time to see how good the new Siri is.

@myridiphis @mecid Agreed!

[Sean Allen @seanallen_dev]

This is gonna get a lot of complaints in the fall.

iOS 27 now uses the top-center swipe-down gesture for the new Siri on supported iPhones and iPads.

@ifritlabs So far

[Matt Ricketson @ricketson_]

SwiftUI’s new type-checking enhancements (`@ContentBuilder`) and lazy `@State` are the culmination of literally years of careful effort behind the scenes to solve some of the biggest everyday pain points in SwiftUI development.

At this point, there are millions of lines of SwiftUI result builder and state code shipping in production. With these changes, every one of those lines of code will suddenly compile differently, improving both compilation and runtime performance, and most developers *will never even notice*.

That doesn’t normally happen. Maintaining binary, source, and backwards compatibility across releases imposes strict limitations on how SDK APIs can evolve. If you think of a better way to compile some library DSL syntax after shipping it publicly, you’re usually out of luck.

These enhancements were only possible because of dedicated engineers on the Swift and SwiftUI teams working closely together, sweating the subtlest of details, and persevering through countless dead-end experiments and fraught internal deployments.

Their reward? That future developers will *not* see some type-check error or performance hitch, and will *never* have to know that it ever worked any differently.

But that’s wonderful. We love it. The joy is in the doing.

Thank you @slazaruseth, @daniel_duan, @hollyborla, Pavel Yaskevich, and others from the Swift and SwiftUI teams for getting these enhancements over the finish line! (I’m no longer at Apple but can’t help but brag about these talented people 👏🏻)

@align_all @goclub_app I do. It’s 4th in my list.

[Sean Allen @seanallen_dev]

Looks like I’m getting a Switch 2

@BitrigApp feels like the BEST implementation of agentic engineering. And it’s not even close. The team behind it is top tier for sure.

Swift Charts performance boost. Nice 📈

[Sam Lazarus @slazaruseth]

Fun QOL change that didn't get much press: Swift Charts code got some *major* performance improvements! This change required a *massive* re-architecture of the framework, so highly recommend trying out your charts to feel the perf and submitting feedback if any issues pop up!

[Sean Allen @seanallen_dev]

I liked the raised sidebar in macOS apps 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Sean Allen @seanallen_dev]

@russ1anbot So far so good

[Sean Allen @seanallen_dev]

.@BitrigApp can already build with the new iOS 27 SwiftUI API's. Here's the new container Swipe Actions and .reorderable() in action.

[Sean Allen @seanallen_dev]

Extra Large widget family on iPhones. It’s vertical. Full screen widget. #WWDC26

[Sean Allen @seanallen_dev]

All sessions are out. Go get ideas for the @BitrigApp Hackathon on Wednesday 👀

New foundation model stuff, App Intents, new SwiftUI APIs, and more. #WWDC26
